    Off-grid stereo search

    I've never tried this myself, so I don't know if it will work, so please proceed knowing that if you try what I'm about to suggest you may ruin your stuff! Have you tried wiring a 12 volt DC power pack into the battery connections for a small boombox? The negative/ground should be wired to the...

    mage question

    You don't have to completely nerf yourself to get big damage numbers, and it does make a difference. When my mage first hit 60 I could solo up to about a 54 elite. After accumulating a bunch of damage gear I can solo a 60 elite (unless I get an unlucky run of resists), with nearly the same...

    when is software stored and not installed?

    I disagree. Even if it's not activated I would still say it's installed. All it would take is one command it would be running. If you install photoshop on your computer, but never use it one single time, it's still there. It's still available and can be run at any time. The fact that you...

    when is software stored and not installed?

    Your friend is right. The reason he is right is that he said it had to be a stand-alone executable that would run without further modification. This is the only kind of executable that will run totally self-contained, and wherever you find it stored, it's also by it's very nature installed. I...

    How To Meet Women Playing WarCraft

    This kind of post *almost* makes me want to roll a female night-elf and then wait for someone to try to cyber with me, and then go along with it for a while just so I can say "HAA! HAAA!! I'm a dude! I have a p33n! Welcome to the Internet! Do you feel dirty?" <font color=blue>Links with...

    Article - Greatest Gaming Ideas Of All Time

    I was surprised that there was no mention of StarCraft or Diablo. StarCraft:BroodWar and Diablo II are (were) two of the most highly polished, finely tuned, and widely played PC games (in their day). <font color=blue>Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad...

    I have a 60 Mage and I do just fine in PvP. :cool: Mages are great damage dealers once you get to 60. Just have to realize that the game is balanced for group PvP, not 1 vs 1. Priests and Druids kill mages, Shamans PWN mages. For every class there are a couple of classes that you should be...

    Well I'm glad you're enjoying the game, like I said I had a lot of fun with it. How to get rich in SWG: Save up enough credits from doing missions and selling loot to buy an energy harvestor (windmill) and a couple of small mineral and chemical harvestors (you'll need the energy from the...

    Any body playing EVE?

    Heheh it wasn't really my intent to drive you away from the game with my comments. If you want to play any MMORPG then you can expect to have to play it for months to see most of the game's content. A lot of the end-game content in Eve is player-created. There are alliances of corporations...

    Next Purchase! Starwars:Galaxies

    I played SWG for about a year and I had a lot of fun with it for the first six months or so. After that it almost seemed like a chore to log in (not uncommon for MMO's). If you put a little time into it you can get rich pretty fast and be pretty much whatever profession you want in a few...

    ATI reports crushing loss for the quarter

    Evidently you didn't click the clicky. I know it's the Inquirer and they have been known to speculate and give opinions, but they also seem to have their own sense of integrity. I'd be very surprised if they pulled all the numbers and quotes in the linked article out of their collective arse...

    PLEASE... tell me what you think.

    Not necesarily talking about they Fatal1ty line (I agree it's wasting money paying for the name). More like something like <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813127197" target="_new">this</A> for $104. Any reason to avoid the non-Fatal1ty boards? Are they of lower...
